His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 52: Are you having any dream of me?

I am sitting on the branch of the tree eating the food that I stole from the kitchen in the Li Household. It's been 3 years since the night of the assassination attempt. I have good reasons for coming here next. Ten years old Li Jun won't be strong enough to kill me if the timekeeper decides to use his body. If we fight one on one, I am likely to win physically. I also want to check if they are doing okay.

My aunt is better at these things. I should ask her what to do. I don't have to worry about her going back her correct time to deliver the notebook to my grandmother. She is still in danger. She told me that she appeared 3 years before I met her in the past. The problem is that I don't know where she will appear exactly. If I go and meet my aunt before she traveled to the past, it might create problems. When she messed up, I was born to fix the mess she created. If I warn her before she travels to the past, I don't know what will happen to me.

Li Jun is the childhood friend of the fifth prince. The fifth prince will save my aunt. How much will change because I changed the past?

Things will be different. I don't know if she takes the place of Yu Chen in this timeline. Maybe I should check on the Yu family.

"Lady Witch."

I look down and see Li Jun. He is cute and chubby, watching me with awe. I didn't expect that I would run into him at this hiding place. Kids aren't supposed to come here.

"Stay there." I point at him. "Don't come closer. I like eating the children's hearts."

There is a good reason why I am acting like an evil witch. I don't want him to come closer to me. I don't know when the timekeeper activates the minutes. He might be a kid, but I am afraid of dying. Let's not forget the keeper's dagger in my bag.

"You are eating sweet potatoes" He looks at the food in my hand. "You stole it from the kitchen, didn't you?"

This boy!

"Kid, I am eating this because I don't want to eat your heart."

He sits down on the ground. "I want one too."

"Get it from the kitchen." I wonder if I should go to the battlefield. That doesn't seem like a good idea. How do I find my aunt before she becomes Yu Chen?

"Give me." He chins up stubbornly.

I throw the sweet potato at him. It hits his forehead and falls on his lap. I laugh loudly when I see him rubbing the bump on his head.

"You are a bad witch," He yells in anger.

"Yes, yes... I am bad." I bite into the sweet potato. "Is your father treating you well?"

"He is strict with me," He tells me honestly. "You said that I am destined for great things. My father makes me study and learn martial arts all the time. I am also engaged to marry the sixth princess."

"Not bad." I chuckle. "It looks like you attract princesses a lot."

Li Jun's life is not going to be same. He will marry princesses and have a lot of children. He is likely to get a lot of opportunities to change his life. I don't have doubts about his talents. He will get the chance to shine this time.

"Are you having any dream of me?" I ask him quietly.

He shakes his head. The timekeeper was right. This time, he won't fall in love with me.

"It's my birthday today." He speaks after a long silence. "Did you come to wish me?"

I am surprised to hear that. Kang Si An and Li Jun have the same birthday. "Uh..."

He looks at me with excitement. "Did you bring me a gift, Lady Witch?"

I rummage through my bag. I don't have anything that I can give to a child. The dagger and the vials are out of choice. Li Jun is looking at me with expectations. I look into the wallet. I find some paper cash and a coin. I throw the coin at him. He dodges this time.

"What's this?" He checks the coin. "You are stingy. This coin is not even gold."

"It's the coin of protection." I grin at him. "If you keep it with you, you will be protected from the evil spirit."

He frowns at me. "It looks like an ordinary metal coin."

I should have brought something good from my correct time. It's already been three hours. If I go back now, the timekeeper will be there because I have changed an important step toward the original timeline. I didn't go to the future and saw my future self die.

"You can throw it away if you don't like it." I shrug my shoulder. "By the way, are you friend with Wu Yixing?"

"The fifth prince?" He pockets the coin. "He is sly and manipulative, but he and I are friends."

Wu Yixing hasn't met my aunt yet. "What about the Yu family? Are you a friend of their eldest son?"

"The enemy spy's son?" He wrinkles his nose. "Four years ago, he was sent to exile after his mother was executed. He can't return to the capital for the next fourteen years."

My aunt will replace Yu Chen after fourteen years. She will meet him in the inn on the road to the capital. I should meet her before she replaces Yu Chen. If she becomes Yu Chen, there is a high chance that she will be caught.

"Lady Witch, where are you from?" Li Jun's voice snaps me out of my thoughts.

"I am from the depth of hell." I hang the bag on my back. "It's time for me to go back."

"Are we going to meet again?" He asks me hopefully.

"We won't." Probably. "I am going somewhere far away. Li Jun, you must live a long happy life, okay?"

He lowers his head. "You can come back to meet me again anytime."

Cute.

"I will come to meet you on your 90th birthday. You have to live up to 90 if you want to meet me."

He glares at me. "Lady Witch, what if I die before I turn 90?"

I wave my hand. "Then, you won't meet me."

I hear his faint voice following me as I leave Li Household. "I will wait for you then."
